    I have been making these for years. When I ran across this version of the recipe and the comments I decided to leave behind some hopefully helpful info...
    1.When Making Chef Marcel's other recipe if you have difficulty with the melting, place over double boiler.
    2.Add up to 1 tablespoon of your favorite liquor
    3.Grind up Hard sugar cookies or other hard cookies and roll truffles in it.
    4.I myself am not a big fan of raw cocoa. so I grind up sugar till powdered and add 1/4 cup sugar to 1/2 cup cocoa and roll them in that mix.

    I also used 12 oz. of 68% dark chocolate. My family and I thought they tasted amazing, but the cocoa powder was a little bitter for us. The powdered sugar was much better. I had to microwave the chocolate to get it melted all the way. One hour in the fridge was way too long, as well as the 15 minutes after spooning chunks onto the baking sheet. Overall though, they were pretty good! I am 13 and I am trying to make all of the recipes possible to get maximum experience until I go to a culinary school (The CIA hopefully!. Thanks to Marcel for this recipe!

    Its a great recipe and the truffles turned out GREAT! However, it is missing something - like a flavor to enhance the taste of the chocolate like raspberries or mint.

    I used 12 oz of dark chocolate chips instead and they are wonderful.

    Though this is a little difficult to get the chocolate melted just right, it is the best chocolate recipe!

    The recipe is extreamly easy and great to do with kids. However, I wasn't thrilled with the outcome. Using premium chocolate helped but the taste lacks depth. Purhapse adding expresso or mint might help. Overall it was okay but I won't make it again.

    Easiest dessert I can think of making, and they turn out so well! Everyone who has tried them loved them. This will be my go-to dessert recipe.
